I am using Perl right now though and it is okay. I am using it for strictly file and string manipulation...so the previous statement stands true in my eyes :d

C++ as everyone has said is probably the still the best out there as it is so powerful and lets you do a whole lot of anything you damn well please and still manage to be efficent. My thing is that computers are so fast now and days that it really doesn't matter that much for effiency any more unless you are writing a 5 million line program...which I don't.

I forgot where I was going with this...probably something like use what you want depending on the situation. What I have learned is that no matter where you go there will always be people who say x sucks because y is better. It is all just a preference.
